Flooding update

Today still many of our friends were without power. We have been having a little emergency shelter here for the "flood victims", they have been by to borrow the washing machine, put stuff in our freezer, use some internet and just enjoy some AC and coffee from the coffee machine!

The other international school here in Brunei has been closed, because of the lack of power; and hardly any traffic lights are working anywhere so traffic is absolute chaos. More so than normal that is...

Half of downtown is without power too, so the big Mall is in the dark and most shops and restaurants didn't even bother keeping open today.Aarrgghhh, I hope the rain stops and everything gets back to normal very soon! I really feel for all these people without power and water. It's an unbearable situation.
